One of the best secret streets in New York, Sylvan Terrace consists of a one-block stretch of cobblestone connecting St. Nicholas Avenue and Jumel Terrace between 160th and 162nd Streets. Built as the carriage drive of the Morris Jumel Mansion, the street has two rows of 20 wooden homes. Designed by Gilbert R. Robinson Jr., the homes were rented by “laborers and working-class civil servants,” as Atlas Obscura reported. By the middle of the 20th century, the charming homes had fallen into disrepair. But after the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Jumel Terrace Historic District in 1970, including Sylvan Terrace, the residences were restored with a cohesive look, including cornices and wooden shutters.

Sylvan Terrace, sometimes erroneously called Sylvan Place, is a historic mews which is part of the Jumel Terrace Historic District in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. It consists of 20 wooden row houses on a cobblestone street with coachlights leading up to the Morris–Jumel Mansion Museum.

Hidden Gem in Washington Heights A walk down Sylvan Terrace in Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood is a walk back in time. Located right next to the historic Morris-Jumel Mansion, just west of Roger Morris Park, the one-block street is paved with cobblestone and lined on both sides with charmingly restored wooden townhouses built in 1882. The quiet and once private street is one of the very few remaining places in New York City where you can find wooden homes, especially so many on the same block!
